How I'm Training to Break 20 Minutes for 5K at 50 | 50 to Sub-20

Someone asked what training I’m actually doing as part of my 50 to Sub-20 challenge — so here it is. In this video I break down the training that’s helped me move from the mid-25 minute 5K's towards my current 5K level, including easy runs, longer runs, intervals, hill work, pacing sessions and the role of cross-training. I also take you with me on a 9-mile run along the canal while talking through what’s been working, what I’ve learned, and how I’m trying to balance getting faster with staying healthy enough to keep training consistently. This isn’t a perfect training plan and I’m not pretending to be a coach — it’s simply an honest look at what I’m doing, what seems to be helping, and how I’m approaching the goal of breaking 20 minutes for 5K after turning 50. If you’re also trying to improve your 5K, especially later in life, I hope there’s something useful in here. The target is still the same: 19:59. Life doesn’t peak at 50. #50toSub20 #RunningOver50 #5KTraining #Sub20 #Parkrun #RunningJourney #BeyondTheMidlifeCrisis
